DIALOG WITH GOD...(page4)

 

I ask for your children, who hear but don't listen.
I pray one day that their eyes will glisten,
with tears of truth pouring out of their hearts, and
they'll know enlightenment from you, dear God.

ENLIGHTENMENT COMES FROM BELIEF IN MY BOOK,
WRITTEN BY MY PROPHETS, IF YOU WOULD JUST LOOK.

Oh, dear God, I look and I read,  and with all my heart I do believe,
but many of your children are filled with despair,
when they read your word,
they doubt you are there.

PRAY THAT THEY NOT BE TOO LATE, MY CHILD,
FOR THOUGH I AM PATIENT,
I WILL SEE THROUGH THEIR GUILE,
AND IF FINALLY THEY COME, WITH MOTIVES NOT PURE,
THEY MUST FIRST LEARN OF MY WAYS,
THEY WILL HAVE TO ENDURE.

MY WAYS ARE NOT EASY, BUT I AM THE LIGHT,
MAY THEY NOT WAIT TOO LONG TO BE IN MY SIGHT.

TO ALL I HAVE GIVEN A MEASURE OF FAITH,
SOME USE IT AND IN ME THEY TRUST,
BUT I'VE ALSO PLACED FREE WILL IN THEIR MINDS
TO DENY ME MY BEING IN THEIR LUST.

ACQUIT YOURSELF OF HIDDEN FAULTS,"
STATES MY BOOK IN PSALM NINETEEN,
LOOK TO YOUR FLAWS WHICH HOLD YOU BACK
AND KEEPS ME FROM BEING SEEN.

Why is that, God, why must it be,
that only through trials we come to Thee?

VERY SIMPLE, MY CHILD, BUT ALSO SAD,
MY CHILDREN DO NOT COME TO ME WHEN THEY'RE GLAD,
IT IS ONLY THROUGH SORROW THEY SEEK OUT MY STRENGTH,
IT IS ONLY THEN, THEY KNOW ME AT LENGTH.

But there are many people whose prayers don't come true.
That's what so many people turn from you.

IF YOU HAVE FAITH, WITH PATIENCE YOU'D WAIT,
BELIEVING I'M FAITHFUL, YOU'D CONTEMPLATE, AND KNOW
THERE ARE REASONS YOUR PRAYERS ARE HELD BACK,
YOU'D STAND FAST IN YOUR FAITH AND FEEL NO LACK,
KNOWING IN TIME, THAT WILL COME TRUE, ALL WHICH
IS BEST AND RIGHT FOR YOU.

TO THOSE WITH TRUE FAITH, THEY SEE BEYOND,
TO THEM I GIVE BLESSINGS, I GIVE MY BOND.

THE ONES I CALL ARE PUT THROUGH THE TEST,
JUST TO SEE THEIR WILLINGNESS,
TO ACCEPT IN FAITH THAT WHICH THEY CANNOT SEE,
SHOWS THEIR LOVE AND TRUST IN ME.
IN TIME, WHEN THEIR FAITH, SHOULD IT PROVE SOUND,
IN THEM MY SPIRIT OF PEACE WILL ABOUND.

God, why is the Old Testament so important to know?

IT SHOWS THE VALIDITY OF MY BEING AND MY SOUL.
THE OLD TESTAMENT EXPLAINS WHAT IS TO COME,
IT SHOWS THE PROPHESIES ONE BY ONE.

IN PROVERBS 30, READ VERSE 4, IT CLEARLY ASKS THE SON'S NAME,
THE ONE WHO ASCENDED AND ALSO DESCENDED IS VERY,
VERY PLAIN.

LOOK AT ZECHARIAH, CHAPTER 8, VERSE 23,
TEN MEN GRASP THE GARMENT OF A JEW,
STUDY IT CLOSELY WHEN YOU READ WHAT THEY SAY,
"...WE HEAR THAT GOD IS WITH YOU."

READ ISAIAH 7:14, A VIRGIN WITH CHILD WILL BEAR A SON,
KNOW MY WORD, FOR IT IS TRUE OF THE ANNOINTED ONE.

FOR THOSE WHO WANT TO KNOW ME, THE BIBLE IS THE WAY,
OLD TESTAMENT AND NEW, SPEAK MY TRUTH EACH DAY.

Why is it, God, in the New Testament,
the High Priests denied your Son..
when the Old Testament prophesied in truth
that He clearly was THE One?

WOULDN'T YOU, MY CHILD, IF I CAME AS ONE WHO LOOKED
NO DIFFERENT THAN ANY MAN'S SON? AND I PROPHESIED
TO BE GOD, AND SAID, "TRUST ME, YOU CAN,"...
WOULD YOU HAVE ACKNOWLEDGED THAT I'M MORE THAN MAN?

I see what you mean, Lord,
but the priests were well read,
and allegiance to you
and your book was well pled.

THEY WERE STILL OF HUMAN NATURE;
THEIR FAITH NOT COMPLETE,
WHEN IT CAME TO THE MESSIAH,
THEY CHOSE TO COMPETE,
THOUGH THEY PLED ALLEGIANCE TO MY BOOK THEREIN,
WHEN MY PROPHESY PROVED TRUE, THEY FELT CHAGRIN.

ALTHOUGH THEY WERE PRIESTS THEY WERE NOT
DIVINELY BLESSED;
THEIR FAITH FAILED THEM UNDER DURESS,
FAITH OF THE MIND DOES NOT ENDURE, 
IT IS FAITH OF THE HEART
IN WHICH ONE IS SECURE.

THEY LOOKED TO THEIR POWER AND NOT TO MINE,
HUMAN NATURE PREVAILED, THEY IGNORED MY SIGN,
THEIR FEAR OF LOSING CONTROL OF THEIR FLOCK
CAUSED THEM TO DENY ME, MY BOOK THEY DID MOCK.

MY WORDS WERE THERE, FOR ALL TO SEE THE DESCRIPTION
OF THE MESSIAH IN ISAIAH 53;
NOT TO MENTION PSALM 2,VERSE 12..
"DO HOMAGE TO THE SON," IN WHOM I DWELL.

DO NOT LET YOUR INTELLECT GET IN THE WAY,
I REPEAT, READ DEUTERONOMY 29:29,
THE SECRET THINGS BELONG ONLY TO ME,
WHICH I CHOOSE NOT TO REVEAL IN YOUR TIME.

God, what of the Talmud, so highly esteemed?...

IT HAS ITS PLACE, BY ALL MEANS, BUT IT WAS NOT WRITTEN
BY APOSTLES OR PROPHETS, IT WAS WRITTEN SOLELY BY THE
HANDS OF SCHOLARS WHO SPOKE OF TRADITION AND RITUAL
AND RITE, AND WAS SOCIETAL IN NATURE AND THE LIKE.

God, so many people did not see the Light,
they persecuted the Hebrews, your children.
Why did they do this, tell me, I pray,
so many are disillusioned.

IN THE BOOK OF JOHN, MY WORD IMPLIES
TO LOVE ONE ANOTHER, TO OPEN ONE'S EYES
TO THE GOOD IN PEOPLE, NO MATTER THEIR RACE,
TO BELIEVE IN ME, AND IN MY GRACE.

THE CHRISTIAN WHO TRULY WALKS IN MY SIGHT
LOVES THE HEBREW AND BRINGS HIM MY LIGHT,
I'VE COME NOT TO ABOLISH, BUT THE LAW TO FULFILL,
SAID THE MESSIAH, WHO DOES ONLY MY WILL.
IT IS SO QUOTED IN MATTHEW 5:17,
LOOK TO THE SCRIPTURES AND IN IT YOU'LL GLEAN
THE TRUTH OF MY WORDS, AND MY LOVE FOR ALL RACES,
IF YOU KNOW NOT MY SCRIPTURES, BE NOT COMPLACENT.

YOU'RE STILL ALL MY CHILDREN, NO MATTER YOUR CREED,
FOR THOSE WHO ARE PREJUDICED, WHO FEEL NO NEED
TO PURSUE THE TRUTH, WHO HAVE CLOSED OFF THEIR MINDS,
THEY WILL BE TREATED, AND JUDGED, IN KIND.
